PRP and Cosmetic Treatments The rapid rise in the popularity of PRP cosmetic treatments is no accident.

Based on proven results in the field of sports injury recovery, as well as in orthopaedic and dental surgery, the primary competitive advantage of PRP cosmetic treatment is that it uses the body’s own natural healing processes and results in a natural, youthful appearance.

Rejuvenating facial treatments that target crow’s feet, frown lines, and volume loss amongst others, take advantage of the regenerative powers of platelet rich plasma in order to slow the signs of ageing, producing fantastic results.

It’s no wonder then that in recent years the use of PRP in cosmetic procedures has really taken off.

How does it work?Platelet rich plasma cosmetic treatments work by first extracting the patient’s own blood. The blood is spun in a centrifuge in order to separate out the plasma, platelets and blood cells. The platelet-rich plasma is then re-injected or applied topically at the target sites the patient at targeted sites for improvement. Once this process is complete, the rejuvenating effects start to appear slowly and steadily over the coming weeks until an improvement in skin texture, tone, and appearance is clear.

BenefitsPerhaps the most important benefit to the patient is that PRP-based cosmetic treatments are virtually risk free. Because the treatment uses the body’s own natural healing processes, there is little to no risk of rejection of foreign bodies, adverse reactions or disease transmission.

Using PRP for cosmetic procedures benefits the patient in numerous ways. Firstly, there is minimal disruption to the patient’s daily schedule, and nor are there any tell tale signs of invasive work. Instead, aside from a little localised swelling immediately after treatment, the magic of PRP works subtly over the weeks following treatment.

PRP treatments are fast, taking on average around half an hour to complete from start to finish. This means that cosmetic procedures can be undertaken during lunch hours. They do not result in any visible unfavourable effect immediately – rather there is a slow improvement in the targeted area over two to three weeks.

PRP cosmetic treatments are incredibly effective requiring on average, two to three initial treatments for around 18 months worth of visible result.

PRP treatments are also lower in cost than other dermal filler treatments in real terms. Compared to dermal fillers, which require expensive and frequent top up treatments, PRP-based cosmetic procedures may cost more initially, but the results last far longer than those of traditional dermal fillers.

Unlike more traditional treatments such as Botox, Juvederm, and Sculptra, the patient is not left with a “frozen” face. Instead, PRP works with the body’s own regeneration processes to produce an effect which appears to reverse the obvious signs of aging.

So with speed, minimal impact, proven results, cost effectiveness, and the fact that PRP is all-natural, it’s no wonder that cosmetic treatments that utilise the power of PRP are growing so rapidly.
